Using the CORGI POWER in occupied transport 
 

The  CORGI  POWER  has  been  successfully  crash  tested  in  accordance  with 
ISO7176 part 19. This means that it is suitable to be transported in a vehicle with 
the occupant sitting in it. The Seat should be in the lowered position and tilted to 
the most upright setting. 
 
The  CORGI  POWER  is  held  down  by  four 
restraints:  two  at  the  front,  and  two  at  the  back. 
These should be wheelchair restraints that  have 
been designed for this purpose. The occupant is 
secured  by  a separate occupant restraint,  which 
is  anchored  at  shoulder  level  to  the  side  of  the 
vehicle. 
 
 

Please  study  the  next  few  pages  carefully,  to 
make  sure  that  you  are  operating  in  a  safe 
manner. 
 

 
The  Front  Restraints  are  fitted  first,  passing 
around  the  crossbar  at  the  front  of  the  CORGI 
POWER. 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
The  Rear  Restraints  are 
fitted  and  tensioned  to 
hold  the  CORGI  POWER 
securely as shown. 
 
 
 
 

WHEELCHAIR RESTRAINTS 
It  is  important  that  wheelchair  restraints  should  be  attached  at  an  angle  of  no 
more  than  45 degrees to  the  vehicle  floor.  Make  sure that  you  obtain  a  copy  of 
the operating instructions for the restraint system that you use.
